Engines in Repair

Shortage Due, They Claim,
toToo Many Locomotives

"Effort to reduce the percentage

sge is due to the fact that too many
locomotives are unfit for service at
the same tune.
A bulletin 'issued, under the au
thority of the Association of Rail
Yay Executives, to unify all forces
in the effort to secure maximum
service from existing transportation
facilities shows that an early and
substantial reduction in the number
of locomotives now unfit for service
must be made.
This move, according to the ad-J
visory committee 01 ine svssuciiuiuu
of Railway Executives, is an essen
tial part of the mere-transportation
program, mapped out since . the
roads have been returned-to private
ownership. Heavier loading may be.

Big Per Cent in Shops.
,On September 15, of all locomo.
fives, 17.1 per cent were out of serv
ice for repairs requiring over n
hours, and 6.4 per cent for repairs
requiring less than 2t hours.
As a basis for comparison al
. though the statistics were kept on
a different basis at that time in Sep
tember, 1917, 13.5 per cent of freight
locomotives were in shops for re
pairs or awaiting repairs. 'V
The number of locomotives out
of. service for repairs is said to be
too many even if there were'in scrvr
jce all the locomotives needed.
According to figures compiled by
, the Railway Aje, the average num
ber of locomotives provided annually
bv the railroads tor eight years
prior Jfilhe war. was 2,970. The
same$rity estimates that the
accumulated shortage of the years
1917, 1918 and 1919, was 3.190.,

Negro Woman Patient Throws
' Radium Into Drain Pipe
;.' Thomasville, Ga., Nov. 13. There
was consternation among the doctors
of the Radium institute here when
it was found that $7,000 worth of
, ndium- had been thrown , into a
sewer. . :
The radium was being used in
treating a negro woman for cancer
at the hospital and was left at-'
tached for a certain length of time.
Deciding that she did not like the
odor of radium and saw no good in
a little thing like that, airyway, the
woman, happening to be left alone,
:ut the string holding itand going
to the bath room thew the costly
remedy into the 3ewer.' When tpe
attending physicians returned and
found the radium missing and
earned of its disposition excitement
reigned supreme. f;
-.Plumbers were hastily summoned,
sewer pipe torn jup and rigorous
search made. After extended search
the tiny tube, hardly larger than a
.needle, was found lodged against the
sewer trap in the yard of the hos
pital. A young plumber named Sul
livan received the $100 reward of
fered for the recovery of the radium.
Little Girls Prove Fairies Ex-1
ist by Photographing Them
London, Nov. 13. -There is noth
ing new in spirit photography but a
photograph of fairies is something
of a novelty. ,
Two girls, both very young, con
stantly told their fathers that at a
certain spot in the country doubt
dest a glade they eould always sum-
mon fairies. ' '
The credulous father suggested
Jhat if they could summon them and
play with them, why not take photo-
: graphs of them. To which end he
lent the children his camera.
tj.They went to their meeting place
and 'summoning their elfin friends
promptly proceeded to snap them.
. Great was 1iis surprise, the father
ratd.'when, upon developing the pho-'
td graphs he found the younger of
the girls surrounded by fairies with
pretty faces anad gaudy wings while
the eldest had a delightful chubby-
" faced little girl sitting on her knee.
Sir A! Conaff Doyle, who has the
photographs, has no doubt of their
genuineness, and it is stated that he
intends- to publish, them in a book.

man who complains in a letter "To
the Editor" that asNsodn as a pros

"place is filled," andthat she need
not wait. " . : .
A mouth like a huge gash, com
plexion a pasty green, eyes like
oysters, and a lumpy face with every
known blemish so the lady de
scribes herself. She wishes some
jealous woman who does not "want a

While we all like comely people
and attractive objects about us; yet
it seems hard to believe that a

enter into consideration except in

In the opinion of a woman expert
the homely woman is equally as
satisfactory as her pretty sister
often more so. Mrs. Alice Barber,
who in her capacity as head of an
industrial organization advises em
ployers as to the fitness of men and
women for jobs, says many plain
women are by far most desirable in
business. ' "
Chance For Improvement.
"This woman must be awful if
she looks like her description,"
smiled Mrs. Barber, who incidental
ly is most prepossessing herself.'
. "Bad as Sicr appearance must be,
if she is to be believed, she could
improve it. . If her hair is stringy
let her get a permanent wave. If
her complexion is green she can use
harmless cosmetics to cover it up.
Powder puffs accomplish wonders.
It is ridiculous for a woman to com
plain in these days of personal im
provement that she looks awful.
"Plainness dpes not mean-unat-tractiveness.
The neat, well-groomed
business woman is always a pleasure
to look at, and compares very well
with the vain beauty who spends
hours of her employer's time fussing
about her looks. . ; x
"Most important of all, in judging
the fitness of people for jobs, are
personal characteristics. There are
36 of -these to be read from the

Mrs. Barber paused to take in the

chestnut brown hair, softly waving,
the freshest of color, not induced by
cosmetics; rounded cheeks, gray eyes
and a pleasantly direct manner. A
navy blue tailored suit, with a white
silk blouse is her business costume.
Severe? No, very feminine, as much
as the tapering finger tips that ex
emplify her theory of well-keptness.
"The important things ia an em

pert, "are initiative, conscientious

a salary and neatness, which is only
fairness to the head of a business. .
"Many women say they,can,'t af

"A woman who has not much to

must have confidence to succeed.
"As for homeliness why be home
ly?" Mrs. Barber wants to know.
Views of Dr. Quockenbos.
""Another point of view on the ques
tion of homely candidates for work
is that of a distinguished psycholo
gist, Dr. John D. Quackenbos, who
does not believe a homely woman in
an office will necessarily free a busi
ness man's wife from the pangs of
jealousy.
"For economic reasons a man
might wish to hire a homely woman
who wouldn't want as much salary
with which to bedeck herself as a
pretty and vain one. Otherwise I
think men like to have not necessar

turned from their wives and families
for some such ugly wrench.
"I knew of a case where a patient
of my great uncle's, also a physician,
married a very ugly woman. My
relative predicted that the man
woukl cut his throat in despar. The
unhappy husband finally did this. He
simply couldn't endure the sight of
his wife. ! .
Beauty is Preferred.
"Now, many business men do not
necessarily aspire to have an office
blooming with beauties, but realize
that beauty does not necessarily
mean badness where ugliness might.
The average male, though, would
like to have the woman who works
for him at. least somewhat comely, i
nice looking stenographer, nurseor
office helper. A woman who is so
homely or. unkempt that she gets in
to a man's eye is a disturbing thing
to have about, really annoying.
"It is also quite true that when a
plain girl makes less mistakes than
a pretty one, the fairer girl's lapses
arc more likely to be overlooked.

Unconscious favoritism may some
times cause men to have good-looking
girls to wcrk for them.
"But they are safer than the ugly
woman vhh a strong attraction or
dtsire for attention. She is not to
be resisted, and her lovely sister
may be entirely lacking in these
dangerous qualities. There are
many love-loose men who cannot be
trusted wifh any woman, but in my
statements I am dealing with the
average decent man and the unusual
woman. The tgly female."
The pretty girl, it seems, might be
more worried about meeting her
beau after work than flirting with'
men met in the course of business,
whereas her ugly counterpart would
be reduced to the pitiful necessity of
tring her wiles on the nearest
available man, s:nce she realizes her
shortcomings and cannot lose any
precious moments.
At least Dr. Cfuaccnboss dictum
about ugliness ought to be soothing
to women who take seriously the
cartoons and jokes about beautiful
blonde stenographers.
